BH Series Road Tax Rates & Formula
A transparent explanation of the numbers used in the calculator.
The BH (Bharat) Series road-tax framework uses the vehicle invoice price excluding GST as the calculation base. The notified base rate changes with the invoice-price slab, while diesel and electric vehicles receive separate percentage adjustments.
| Invoice price excluding GST | Petrol / CNG | Diesel | Electric (EV) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Below ₹10 lakh | 8% | 10% | 6% |
| ₹10 lakh to ₹20 lakh | 10% | 12% | 8% |
| Above ₹20 lakh | 12% | 14% | 10% |
Two-year BH tax formula
For example, a ₹15 lakh petrol vehicle falls in the 10% base slab. The notional motor vehicle tax is ₹1,50,000, and the two-year formula produces an estimated BH tax of ₹25,000. The exact payable amount should always be checked on the live government portal.
